The Revival Of The Thruxton Name
The legendary Thruxton name makes its return with the all-new Thruxton 400, a modern interpretation of an icon that defined an era.

Celebrated for its unmistakable cafe racer attitude and racing heritage, the Thruxton has always embodied style, performance, and character. Now, that spirit is reimagined for a new generation, delivering the perfect balance of timeless design and contemporary engineering.
Head Turning Cafe Racer Design
The classic Triumph engine profile is complemented by a sculpted fuel tank, which is a fusion of flowing lines and sharp contemporary contours, with the Triumph triangle badge. A new fairing houses the classic round LED headlight, contrasting with the sporty and stylish bar end mirrors, blending tradition with innovation. Clip-on handlebars lower the front end for a more assertive stance, while the colour-coded bullet seat cowl, shortened rear mudguard and number plate hanger, plus a compact LED light contribute to a minimalist, purposeful rear. The upswept sports silencer completes the look, with a seamless, flowing exhaust line.
Four vibrant colour schemes feature sleek graphics and sporty contrast accents on the fuel tank, fairing and seat cowl, while the Matt Phantom Black side panel carries an aluminium finish badge bearing the Thruxton name.
The Phantom Black and Aluminium scheme features wide diagonal stripes of colour across the fuel tank and seat cowl, with Racing Red accents on the fairing and seat cowl. The Carnival Red Gloss with Aluminium Silver option features a striking Carnival Red fairing. The Pearl Metallic White and Storm Grey paint scheme includes flashes of Caribbean Blue on the seat cowl and fairing, while the Metallic Racing Yellow with Aluminium Silver design features a Metallic Racing Yellow fairing with Phantom Black accents and Aluminium stripes that carry through on the fuel tank and seat cowl.
An All-new Sportier Ride
With optimised ergonomics and a dedicated chassis, the new Thruxton 400 delivers a fun and sporty ride. The new chassis and revised suspension setup provide a sharper, more responsive feel, while the sporty handlebar and footpeg position give an engaged riding experience. The new clip-on handlebars are 40mm narrower and 246mm lower than those on the Speed 400, while the rear-set footpegs are positioned 86mm further back and 27mm higher. This rotates the rider forward, creating a true cafe racer riding posture.
Black anodised 43mm upside-down big piston forks with 135mm of travel optimised for sporty poise and response, and a preload-adjustable gas mono-shock rear suspension unit with 130mm wheel travel, enhancing the bike’s agility and control for a more focused ride. Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres offer a sporty and grippy feel, ensuring confidence in every corner.
Just like the rest of the 400 range, the latest rider technology is seamlessly integrated into the Thruxton 400, with an analogue speedometer and an LCD tachometer display with USB-C charging port. A ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control, torque assist clutch and ABS ensures rider confidence.
Exciting and Characterful Engine
Powered by the most powerful iteration of the TR-series engine yet, with all the same enhancements as the Tracker 400, the 398cc engine revs higher and harder, delivering a thrilling top-end while maintaining the smooth, torque-rich performance and rich, distinctive soundtrack that defines the Triumph experience.
Trademark Triumph Quality
From the new polished Monza-style fuel cap to Thruxton’s meticulous paintwork, every element of the design reflects Triumph’s unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and premium quality. Each detail has been thoughtfully engineered and finished to the highest standards, creating a motorcycle that blends striking aesthetics with technical precision.
The engine features machined cooling fins contributing towards its clean, uncluttered profile, while the stylish and lightweight cast aluminium wheels and four-piston radial caliper deliver both style and performance, seamlessly blending form and function in true Thruxton style.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN
For riders who want to make their bike truly their own, Triumph offers a comprehensive range of Genuine Accessories, from styling to protection. Each accessory is designed and engineered to the same exacting standards as the motorcycle itself, ensuring perfect fit, seamless integration, and lasting reliability.
Options include practical protection such as engine protection bars and tank pads, as well as custom styling enhancements like bullet LED indicators and bar-end mirrors, as well as a premium quilted seat for the Thruxton 400.
The Tracker 400 and Thruxton 400 offer class-leading service intervals and backed by a global two-year unlimited mileage warranty that also covers Genuine Triumph Accessories. The result is a lower cost of ownership and more time on the road.
Customers in the UK can reserve their new Tracker or Thruxton online using Triumph’s Reserve My Triumph technology, securing their new bike in their preferred colour with a deposit through their nominated dealer.
The Tracker 400 will be in dealers from April 2026 priced at £5,745, and the Thruxton 400 will be available a little earlier, from March 2026, priced from £5,995. For more details or to find your local dealer, visit triumphmotorcycles.co.uk.
